Monique Jack

Co-Founder, funktion

As a business owner, juggling the fine balance between working long hours and switching off can be incredibly mentally, emotionally and physically challenging. As someone once said “Your business grows as much as your willingness to grow”. The truth of this still resonates with me 12 years into running my own consulting business. Over this time, I have worked with Stephen to grow personally, professionally and spiritually. Rather than repeat old patterns or act from limiting beliefs, he has helped me look at my blind spots and develop life-long skills. This has been incredibly valuable in gaining greater insight, awareness and new ways of being. Stephen’s approach is holistic and grounded in warmth, empathy and experience. He works intuitively and knows when to challenge and when to encourage. He has an extensive range of techniques and tools to help you unlock the best version of yourself. He is skilled at helping you access your inner truth, which ultimately helps you live a more meaningful and joyful life and enhance performance and effectiveness, all at the same time. I highly recommend working with Stephen if you want to tap into your potential or even just understand yourself better.

CEO, Gentari Solar Australia

I had several one-on-one sessions with Stephen.

I went from not meditating at all to having a daily meditation habit and a set of techniques that I can call upon for situations as needed.

Stephen is a great listener and is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about meditation in all its forms. I recommend contacting Stephen if you are interested in meditation or want assistance or inspiration in your meditation journey.

Senior Real Estate Agent, Belle Property Manly

To be honest, it's been life-changing.

For me it's changed everything. It's made me calm, it's made me level, and it's changed work - it's just changed my whole life, my relationships and everything.

And I put that all down to Stephen. You know, you can really tell he's been doing it for 25 years - he doesn't look that old but it's been fantastic.

I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Tracy Steffan

US Tax Professional

I highly recommend Stephen Cottee as a meditation teacher and coach - he is insightful, extremely knowledgeable and a skilled instructor.

Stephen has a generous and inclusive style of teaching which makes meditation accessible and enjoyable for persons of all levels of experience.

I have had insomnia and difficulty in sleeping over the past three years, along with a trend of increased blood pressure readings. However, within 2 weeks of starting a daily meditation practice under Stephen's guidance, I noticed a marked improvement in the quality and duration of my sleep, along with lower blood pressure readings - really amazing results!

I could not be happier with the instruction and guidance that I am receiving from Stephen as I work toward establishing a pattern of daily meditation.

Global Economic and Political Risk Analyst

My private sessions with Stephen were fantastic.

It is the holistic approach he offers which makes him stand out, combining many different strands of meditation and therapeutic practices as well.

He pointed out my blind spots, helped me learn a lot about myself and improved my meditation technique.

I would highly recommend.

Founder, Mighty Ability

Stephen’s experience and training shows through in his ability to communicate effectively including cutting through to the core of his learning.

I started working one on one with Stephen to discover more of what is possible through meditation and integrate what I learnt into my life. Having worked with different types of coaches over the years I find Stephen's unique approach highly effective.

I’m feeling more grounded, more clarity and I’ve been able to free myself from behaviours that have held me back in fulfilling my own purpose.

I’d highly recommend Stephen to anyone who is up to stuff - from entrepreneurs to executives - or anyone who wants to experience more clarity, peace of mind, effectiveness and fulfilment in their lives.

Stephen has helped me take my meditation from basic level to a far deeper practice.

His simplified approach and understanding of practice methods is refreshing. He is also lots of fun to work with.

I can honestly say the two months of weekly lessons with him so far has had a huge impact on my life.
